AN INSIDE LOOK AT HOUSTON’S BIGGEST INSTRUMENT

Many of the 4,493 pipes, 75 stops and 84 ranks of the largest
pipe organ in Houston are being put into place today, tomorrow and
next week at Rice University. The Edythe Bates Old Recital Hall and
Grand Organ is located in Alice Pratt Brown Hall, Entrance 12 off
Rice Blvd., across from Rice Stadium. The organ is comparable in
size and complexity to organs at the Meyerson Symphony Center in
Dallas and at Stanford University. It will be used for teaching and
performance in Rice’s Shepherd School of Music.
